Bird Pest Control

Birds become a problem when they decide to roost or nest in areas of a residence or business where they are unwanted. Birds, droppings and their nesting materials can carry over 60 transmittable diseases and ectoparasites that can be transmitted to other animals and humans. The longer a bird population is left to nest uninvited on your property; the more difficult it becomes to get rid of them. Proactive approaches are best when it comes to dealing with pest birds, as they will save time and unnecessary costs in the long run.

Bird infestations can also bring with them a range of other uninvited pests such as fleas and flies, but most commonly bird mites.

It is important to call for professional assistance with bird control as soon as you notice them beginning to nest in your building. We can also provide tailored advice for preventative bird control measures.

Negative Impacts of Bird Populations

Exposure to Health Risks

Birds, droppings and their nesting materials can carry over 60 types of transmittable diseases and ectoparasites that can be passed on to other animals, including humans. These diseases and ectoparasites pose a serious threat to your health if you are exposed to them. Many of the diseases are airborne and can easily be transferred via bird droppings.

Bird Mites

Bird mites are a tiny mite, hardly visible to the naked eye however it is extremely mobile. They appear semi-transparent, making them hard to detect when on the skin until the blood is ingested and digested and they appear as a red or dark colour.

They typically come into contact with humans when birds gain access to roof cavities in homes and businesses and begin constructing their nests. Typically occurring in early springtime and the summer months. However, some bird mite infestations also transpire from birds that are found roosting on outdoor awnings or window ledges of buildings. The mites feed on both young and adult birds, and the copious amounts of nesting materials give the mites an ideal environment to thrive in. Despite having a short life cycle, bird mites can generate big populations at a rapid pace.

When the birds move on from the nest or die, up to tens of thousands of mites can be left behind without a suitable host, and they will disperse from the nesting area into the dwelling in the search for new hosts. Rooms closest to the entry point of the mites are usually the most impacted.

Without blood to feed on from a bird host, most mites will die within 3 weeks.

They will bite any humans they find but cannot survive on a human. Bird mites do not have a preference for particular body parts/areas and don’t live under the skin, nor can an infestation be sustained on a human. Occupants of a home infested by bird mites will experience significant discomfort and can sometimes feel the sensation of the mites crawling on their skin.

An infestation of bird mites will persist until bird control has been completed and the bird-related source has been removed and dealt with.

Inventory Damage

Bird droppings can cause damage to products and contamination of production lines. Birds are sometimes found perching or nesting on purlins and rafters in warehouses & storage facilities. The presence of bird droppings in warehouses & storage facilities may affect your food safety audits.

Unsightly

As well as carrying diseases, droppings and bird nests are generally unsightly and provide a poor image to potential customers and clients who see them. Preventative bird pest control measures such as spikes, slopes and deterrents can work well in these situations.

Cleanup Costs

Cleaning up bird dropping daily or weekly can be costly to a business, as well as expose their employees to the diseases the droppings carry. Rather than spending thousands of dollars cleaning up bird droppings and risking employee health, businesses could save time and money by installing preventative bird control products.

Damage to Equipment and Property

The highly acidic, corrosive nature of bird droppings can potentially render equipment or machinery inoperable, as well as corrode and stain building materials. To prevent the requirement for constant cleaning and operator exposure address the problem before it becomes an issue by using bird management solutions.

Food Safety

The discovery of bird droppings in restaurants, food manufacturing, packaging, storage facilities or other similar operations can also affect your HACCP and Food Safety auditing. It can also heavily affect your reputation if products soiled by droppings are sent out.

Costly Liability

Bird droppings can be slippery creating fall hazards when not cleaned up quickly, which on your business premise could become a costly liability if someone chooses to sue.

Blocked Gutters and Drains

Bird droppings and nesting materials can block drains and clog gutters. This can create a fire risk near lighting fixtures, as well as creating the potential for flooding issues on roofs. These can be costly to fix, so it’s best to put preventative measures in place to deter birds, rather than act reactively to the damage they cause.

To prevent these from impacting your home or business, call Dawson’s for tailored bird control and management strategies.
